Chapter 578: Soul Connection!
In a moment of panic, Mu Yao wrapped her arms around her body like the wings of a Garuda, enveloping herself.
"Clang clang..."
Mu Yao, being struck by the clash of fire and light, was sent soaring through the air, coughing up blood as she descended.
When she finally managed to get to her feet, Mu Yao regained her composure. Her hair was disheveled, and her body was covered in numerous wounds, stained with blood. She appeared disheveled and in a sorry state.
"Too strong, cannot be overcome!"
Mu Yao's true strength was something Su Yi was well aware of. Seeing her being heavily injured in such a terrible state astonished Su Yi. It seemed that even the legacy left by the founder of the Divine Sword School would be absolutely unattainable.
"The treasure will choose its own master, to be obtained by those with destiny."
Su Yi pondered, his eyes filled with contemplation, as he slowly approached the stone platform ahead, eager to give it a try.
Staying in the Divine Sword School, Su Yi had initially joined precisely because of the tremendous benefits it offered.
At this moment, the great advantage presented itself right before his eyes. For Su Yi, it was no longer just a temptation. Since he had already come this far, he felt determined to seize this opportunity!
"Hmph!"
As Su Yi stepped forward, a glint of coldness flickered in Yun Lingfeng's eyes. A smirk spread across his face, pleased to witness this young man's imminent downfall, hoping that he would face even greater calamities!
Was this tremendous benefit really something that could be obtained so easily?
As Su Yi approached the stone platform, he fixed his gaze upon the divine weapon, shining like blood, within the radiant barrier. His eyes sparkled with excitement.
This was left by the Elder Ancestor of the Divine Sword School, perhaps holding the entire legacy of the Elder Ancestor within. If obtained, it would truly be a tremendous benefit.
"Communication is needed, and treasures will choose their own owners. They cannot be forcefully taken..."
Su Yi murmured to himself with a solemn expression. A nameless spiritual power emanated from his mind and drifted towards the radiant barrier, seeking to connect with the divine weapon and communicate with it.
Carefully and cautiously, Su Yi dared not have any hint of carelessness.
This was the power of the soul, once the soul was wounded, it would be far more serious than physical injury.
And that is why everyone was afraid of Soul Tamers.
The attacks of the Soul Tamers often directly target the soul or involve soul-infused strikes in their martial techniques.
Once the soul is wounded, even the slightest harm will affect future cultivation.
In the final showdown of the Grand Swordsmanship Competition, Yun Lingfeng eventually became too confident in his soul-infused attacks.
But even until now, Yun Lingfeng remained unaware that Su Yi's soul strength far surpassed his physical prowess.
The Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul was incredibly monstrous, which was why Yun Lingfeng suffered such a miserable defeat in front of Su Yi.
A trace of invisible soul power slowly approached the light curtain as Su Yi remained cautious and alert.
In the tender watchfulness of Su Yi, an ethereal force neared the light curtain, astonishingly without causing any disturbance.
Su Yi's soul power pierced through the light curtain and approached the divine weapon resting on the stone platform.
This was also how Su Yi was able to do so, only after he had cultivated into the Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul. Otherwise, his soul power alone would not have been sufficient for such an outward display.
"Buzz!"
The divine weapon rumbled as Su Yi's soul power invisibly brushed against it, instantly causing a trembling sensation. Ancient runes coiled and rippled upon the sword's blood-red blade.
"Snap!"
Suddenly, the stone platform shook, and the divine weapon began to sink, as if it intended to be submerged back into the stone platform.
"Oh no!"
Su Yi's eyes narrowed, realizing that if the divine weapon retreated, all his previous efforts would be in vain. Instantly, he unleashed the power of his soul, releasing an invisible surge of soul energy that entwined around the divine weapon.
"Bzzz!"
The divine weapon roared, seemingly influenced by some unknown force. Its blood-red radiance grew even more dazzling, its aura surging as if it sought to break free from Su Yi's grasp over its soul power.
After finally establishing a connection with the divine weapon, Su Yi was unwilling to give up. With a surge of soul power, he tightly entwined it around the divine weapon.
"Boom!"
Above the divine weapon, a radiant light shone brightly. The blood-red glow erupted, filling the surroundings with an ominous aura that caused the surrounding light to fluctuate constantly, creating intense ripples.
"Rumble..."
The entire massive mountain peak was shaking and trembling along with it, causing the earth to quake and the mountains to rumble.
"Is Su Yi going to succeed?"
"Could it be that Su Yi has communicated with the divine weapon!"
Witnessing such a commotion, everyone was astonished. Liu Yunchuan, Mu Yao, and Jian Shiyi also secretly changed their expression, deeply moved.
Yun Lingfeng, his eyes filled with a hidden chill, felt a sense of surprise as the cold gleam in his gaze instantly transformed. His expression quickly changed.
"Swoosh..."
Yun Lingfeng became uneasy. His figure dashed forward, fearing that Su Yi had truly communicated with the divine weapon. After all, this youngster had too many mysterious aspects about him, and this extraordinary opportunity absolutely could not fall into someone else's hands.
In front of the luminous curtain, Yun Lingfeng clenched his teeth in secret. In his hand, a small jade bottle appeared quietly, which he then gently crushed in his palm. A drop of blood overflowed and fell into his palm.
"Boom!"
This drop of blood burst into a dazzling brilliance, as if it wanted to blend into Yun Lingfeng's palm. The blood radiated like sunlight, and an ancient aura filled the air.
Yun Lingfeng reached out his hand and placed his palm directly on the luminous curtain.
Suddenly, the luminous curtain surged, creating a tsunami-like wave.
Above the luminous curtain, beams of radiant light burst forth, as countless sword lights dashed out recklessly.
But at this moment, from within Yun Lingfeng's palm, a boundless sea of blood radiated, as if a crimson moon had descended, capable of engulfing everything, gradually creeping onto the luminous curtain.
At the same time, the divine weapons on the stone platform seemed to be influenced by some unseen force, causing intense fluctuations and trembling.
The luminous curtain became even more dazzling, and the divine weapons that had originally intended to retreat back onto the stone platform once again soared upwards, as if they were trying to break free from the stone platform.
"Kaka..."
Upon the ancient and rustic stone platform, the enigmatic and ancient symbols glowed, emanating a mighty fluctuation of energy as if to bind the divine weapon.
But in the end, the surroundings began to crack and fissures appeared.
"What's happening? It seems like Yun Lingfeng has also communicated with the divine weapon!"
"Yun Lingfeng seemed a bit unusual, as there was something strange about that eerie blood glow!"
Seeing the commotion caused by Yun Lingfeng, Gong Qi, Ying Qianqian, Ou Luo, and others outside the light barrier were clearly shocked.
Inside the light barrier, Liu Yunchuan, Jian Shiyi, and Mu Yao were even more astonished.
"Buzz!"
Soon, the divine weapon soared into the air, leaving the ancient stone platform. The sword hummed with the power of thunder, as a burst of crimson light erupted.
Around the ancient stone platform, the light curtain at this moment also crumbled inch by inch, disappearing completely.
Upon seeing this, Yun Lingfeng's eyes revealed a deep sense of joy.
"Are you trying to obtain the ancient divine weapon as well?"
Yun Lingfeng, gazing at Su Yi by his side, shouted coldly. In an instant, he swiftly stepped forward, his palm filled with a bloody light, reaching out directly for the divine weapon.
Su Yi remained astonished, as an invisible spiritual force connected him with the divine weapon. He could sense it even more clearly, at this moment, that there was an extremely peculiar aura emanating from Yun Lingfeng.
That blood light was even more eerie, as if it could communicate with the divine weapon.
But the greatest benefits were right before his eyes, watching someone else obtain them, this was not in Su Yi's nature.
"Swoosh..."
As Yun Lingfeng's figure stepped forward, Su Yi also swiftly moved, without holding back. He unleashed the Hundred Transformations Step to its pinnacle, leaving behind a trail of afterimages. Leading the way, he reached out his hand directly for the divine weapon.
